Wow! Very unusual and beautiful pendants!
The one in the middle looks great!
beautiful! (have seen it on Ebay, but no money at the moment....... too many invoices to pay...).
nice piece.
Waqar. well done, you have a sharp sense of observation.
unusual piece, i guess south niger where the touareg and sonray use to be neighbours. the sonray say about the touareg: how can they live in the desert ?? the sonray live on or arround the river Niger.
the touareg say about the sonray : how can they live in watter ??
it looks like this piece is made from a smith that lives in the area or maybe a saison smith who moves to the river in winter and gets inspired from the area.
many smiths work in fields and plantage in the rain saison , or as herder. they take with them their little materiel and create some jewels in between. i know some of the m, their work is sensationel.
this piece could be one of thoes cases
thank you for takingout the not nice comment.
